$13,718,768 in 1996, i.e., by 94 percent. This increase substantially resulted
from the acquisition of Armstrong Freight in June 1995, Trans Lynx in July 1995,
Automated Solutions (ASI) in November 1995, Krogel in February 1996 and Jackson
& Johnson in June 1996.
Armstrong's revenue (combined with Trans Lynx and Krogel, the
operations of which acquisitions have been merged into Armstrong), for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 was $3,211,031. ASI's revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was $3,469,582. Jackson & Johnson's revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 was $42,115.
At the end of 1993, the Company's Board of Directors decided to
terminate the Company's charter bus operations. Charter operations had produced
very small profit margins in recent years and only when undertaken in
conjunction with contract operations. All charter operations have been
discontinued, sold or otherwise dissolved by the end of 1995. As of June 30,
1996, the only assets remaining from the discontinued segment was one (1) motor
coach bus with a book value of $55,953.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital of $748,856 at June 30, 1996
represented a decrease of $824,303 from the Company's working capital of
$1,416,261 at December 31, 1995. This decrease is chiefly the result of
utilizing working capital for capital expenditures in the second quarter of
1996.
Cash flow from operations was $1,615,978 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 before the application of funds to working capital components. The
Company anticipates positive cash flow from continuing operations in the
foreseeable future. Further, the Company anticipates that cash flow from the
discontinued charter segment will continue to be positive as the Company
disposes of this segment's assets.
The Company has no significant commitments at this time which would
require it to expend capital and believes its current facilities and capital
equipment are adequate for the Company as currently structured.
